From Contract To All My Life: I Own You novel Chapter 22

Amy stood up and looked at the Joy's cubicle. As Joy had said, there was a document lying quietly on it.

Without answering or not, Amy hung up the phone. She went to the cubicle of Joy, picked up the document on the table, leafed through it and put it into Joy's drawer.

Looking at the empty office, Amy felt a little bored. She wiped her face with her hand and walked to window, watching the passers-by coming and going on the street.

She never had a holiday. She didn't want to go home or face her mother's nagging. It was not that she hated her mother, but every time her mother told her what had happened in the past, she always felt that she was not capable of making her mother live a better life. She was not capable of letting those people who had betrayed her mother taste the pain.

Joy couldn't help but feel a little helpless when there is no sound from phone. Sure enough, it was always like this. Before she could finish her words, the phone had been hung up.

The sound of starting the car came from downstairs. Joy put down her mobile phone and ran to the window. Jimmy's assistant, Ronald, opened the back door for him. Jimmy was bending over to get in, but somehow he stopped and turned around to look at her.

The moment he looked at her, Joy drew the curtain immediately.

Joy patted her chest. Fortunately, he didn't see her peeping.

Somehow, she felt a little guilty.

When she opened the curtain again and looked out, the car had disappeared.

She didn't know why he was going out, but it would be better if he went out. He'd better not come back.

Knowing that Jimmy had gone out, Joy relaxed herself.

Once people relaxed, they would easily feel sleepy.

Taking a pair of pajamas from the wardrobe, Joy went to the bathroom to take a shower. Half an hour later, she wiped her hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom.

When her hair was almost dry, Joy went to bed.

As if thinking of something, Joy, who had fallen asleep, stood up again and took the phone from the wardrobe.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon. She worried that she would wake up late, so she got up and set an alarm clock at six o'clock.

Feeling everything was right, Joy lay down to sleep.

At the same time, in the CEO Office of Go Group.

Jimmy, who was only wearing a white shirt, was sitting on a rotating chair beside his desk, reading the documents in his hands. The more he read, the more serious his face became, and his eyebrows were wrinkled more and more tightly.

"Boss, the president of Tonga Group said that they wouldn't agree to the cooperation unless you go to America in person." Standing in front of Jimmy's desk, Ronald said to him.

Jimmy slammed the file and looked up at Ronald, "Now that they want me to go there in person, how can I disappoint them? Go downstairs and prepare to fly to the United States next month."

Ronald nodded and walked out.

"Wait a minute."

"Boss, what else can I do for you?"

"How's the thing I asked you to do?"

Ronald was stunned. He didn't expect that the CEO was still worried about that matter. In the past, once he gave orders, he would never ask about it. But now

"Boss, everything is ready." Ronald replied respectfully.

After saying that, Jimmy lowered his head and played with the pen in his hand. Seeing this, Ronald consciously retreated and closed the door.

But less than two minutes later, the door was pushed in from the outside.

"Miss Gong, you can't go in." The secretary failed to stop Maggie.

Hearing the noise, Jimmy raised his eyes and glanced at Maggie expressionlessly. Then he lowered his head and continued to play with the pen in his hand, as if she did not exist, and did not take her seriously at all.

"Boss, I'm really sorry. Miss Gong..."

The assistant lowered her head and peeped at Jimmy to see if he was angry.

"You may leave now."

"What are you doing here?"

Jimmy was a little unhappy.

As if she didn't see his reaction, Maggie took a look at the door, walked to him in her high heels of more than ten centimeters and sat down on the desk.

Hearing the sound of high-heeled shoes rubbing the floor, Jimmy frowned unhappily. He didn't like anyone to disturb him, and she was challenging his patience.

"Get out." He said coldly.

Maggie was frightened by his coldness. Although he was cold before, he would not be rude to her.

Maggie was the daughter of the Gong family. The Gong Group was not the strongest in city A, but it was also one of the biggest companies besides the Go Group.

She had always been spoiled by her family, and had never been treated like this. For a person like her, the most important thing was her self-esteem.

"Jimmy, why did you do this to me? I'm your fiancee."

"Fiancee?"

Jimmy finally raised his head and looked at her with a gloomy face. "For the sake of Grandpa, I will find an opportunity to visit your palace and apologize. If you just come to remind me, you can leave now. I will officially cancel our engagement. "

Maggie was stunned. Did Jimmy mean that he was going to break off the engagement? How shameful he should be to her!

"Jimmy, how dare you! Do you want to break off the engagement with me and marry that woman named Joy?"

As soon as Maggie finished speaking, a shadow flashed. Before she could see clearly, a hand pinched her white and slender neck.

"Shut up. For the sake of the friendship between our two families, I will allow you to do it this time, but not next time."

"Me? "

Maggie was furious.

"Jimmy, aren't you afraid that I will make troubles for you? Although my family is not as good as your family, it is still prestigious. Believe it or not, I will try my best to destroy your happiness?"

Looking at the furious Maggie, Jimmy pretended, "You can do whatever you want to do to me. But I warn you, don't hurt Joy, or I will make you regret."

"How dare you!"

"Let's see if I dare or not!"

Maggie and Jimmy were unwilling to yield.

Facing such a stubborn Jimmy, Maggie gradually gave in, but she was not reconciled. She was the one who had been engaged to him since childhood. Why should she agreed that Joy get happiness with Jimmy? No, she wouldn't let her go.

Joy was awakened by a series of knocks on the door. She grabbed a pillow and smashed it at the door. The noise inside the door was naturally not heard by the people outside.

Joy, who was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, suddenly realized that she was in Jimmy's villa. She opened her eyes and sprang up to the bed. She ran to the door without putting on her shoes.

"It's coming, it's coming."
